Experiencing the middleage

Carcassonne was the point of departure of my first discovery trip of the South-East of France. In fact, the proximity of the mountain range Pyrénées was a determining factor in my decision to travel till there! But I did not know that the region of Carcassonne was also so nice!

The first day, my friend and I visited the City (fortress) and the Bastide (lower town) of Carcassonne. Then, we rented a car to go to the French/Andorrian/Spanish Pyrénées :

Here is my itinary :

-Carcassonne-Mirepoix-Montréal-Foix-Tarascon

-Vicdessos
-Lac de Soulcem (hiking to Port Bouet)
-Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre

-Andorre
-Bourg-Madame-Martinet-Montella
-Refuge d'Aguilo
-Bellver
-Puigcerda

-Err-Llo
-St Thomas les Bains
-Carança
-Evol
-Prades

-Villefranche
-Mosset-Col de Jau-Axat-Quillan
-Rennes-le -Château
-Limoux-Carcassonne
